Auto-backup Network Server files to USB Flash Drive when Drive Plugged in

[Maiqr]

Hello,

I have a need to back-up the files I keep on shared network drive; Lets call it G:. My goal being when I plug in my flash drive to my computer connected to that network, it automatically copies the files in question on the network drive to my flash drive; Lets call it D:.

This link details the directions I used to make the files that execute the commands on my USB Flash Drive. I thought it would work the way I did it but obviously…

Before you ask, this is for work purposes and I cannot just auto-backup with the windows 10 utility because I do not possess admin rights over my work computer. This also keeps me from using 3rd party software to accomplish my task with these files.

How should I go about getting this to do what I need it to do?

Thanks in advance

Below is the code for each file:

[COLOR=rgb(247, 218, 100)]Autorun.inf -

[autorun]

icon=drive.ico

open=launch.bat

action=Click ok to Run game for Windows

shell\open\command=launch.bat

---

[COLOR=rgb(247, 218, 100)]file.bat -

@echo off

:: variables

/min

SET odrive=%odrive:~0,2%

set backupcmd=xcopy /s /c /d /e /h /i /r /y

echo off

%backupcmd% “%rjg00005%\G:\Engineering\AB Programs” “%D:%\AB Programs”

@echo off

cls

---

[COLOR=rgb(247, 218, 100)]invisible.vbs -

CreateObject(“Wscript.Shell”).Run “”“” & WScript.Arguments(0) & “”“”, 0, False

---

[COLOR=rgb(247, 218, 100)]launch.bat -

wscript.exe \invisible.vbs file.bat[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR]

a networked, work PC that allows users to run VBS scripts - what could possibly go wrong with that scenario!

why your network administrator would allow such a thing is frankly amazing.
and there’s a reason why you don’t have admin rights!
